Tumor Glycosylation: A Main Player in the Modulation of Immune Responses
Cancer cells present aberrant glycosylation patterns that contribute to the evasion of antitumor immunity by triggering lectin receptors. Therefore, tumor glycosylation represents an interesting target for novel immunotherapy strategies. This review discusses the different mechanisms by which tumor‐derived glycans induce tolerogenic programs in immune ...

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I - Clinical and genetic characteristics of Romanian patients
Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which leads to the accumulation of partially digested glycosaminoglycans (dermatan sulfate and heparan

Retrospective Study of Clinical and Genetic Profiles of Alpha‐Mannosidosis Patients From the UAE
ABSTRACT Alpha‐mannosidosis (AM; OMIM 248500) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in MAN2B1, which codes for the lysosomal alpha‐mannosidase enzyme (LAMAN; EC:3.2.1.24). Clinical characteristics include developmental delay, hearing impairment, and recurrent infections.
